Read on to find out more about the smallest, yet mightiest, of the interns!

Interns Attend McCain Victory Dinner

Last night was the night we’d all been waiting for! It was our very first gop event of the summer, and a exceptional one at that! Senator McCain and Governor Romney teamed up for a victory reception right in our very own backyard at the Westin Copley.

Ten Mass Gop interns joined dozens of fellow republicans to serve as volunteers during registration and the reception. We aided in check-in, meet and greet and the donation collection. For those of you who have not yet sent your checks in, you can look forward to a lovely conversation with an intern! All of that phone banking is going to come in very handy!

The mass reception room was filled with the energy of over 700 generous donors. The extra generous donors even received a souvenir photo op with McCain. A few of our interns even snuck a few “clicks” as the McCain staffers called it. Check out a few of these candids from the night...

The interns dressed to impress!

As close as we got to the man of the hour!

After registration we got to sneak in and hear McCain speak a little about his campaign and plans for gaining votes over the next 6 months. McCain’s speech was followed by mingling amongst Republicans and getting to know the party members in the community. We would like to give a special thanks to Tara for giving us this wonderful opportunity to get hands on experience on the campaign trail.

Intern Update

You’re about to enter a whole new world with our new intern cam! See the world through the eyes of a Mass Gop Intern as we stuff your mailers, update your records on voter vault and bond over canoli’s in Boston’s North End!

Today the interns insisted on taking me to lunch to celebrate my birthday. It was the perfect opportunity to test out our new camera to give you insight into our daily routine. Today, Emil, our new intern joined us and before he knew it he was cracking political jokes right along with us at lunch. The team here at the Mass Gop is amazingly supportive and welcoming as new interns and volunteers join us weekly!

Although many delegates may not know this, interns are putting in 8 hour days organizing and planning schedules to ensure a successful trip to the convention in Minnesota Saint Paul in September. So for all of you delegates out there you can think of us when you are snacking on airline peanuts and using hotel shampoo!

In addition to the national convention, we have been focusing on local events as well. As interns we have been invited to volunteer this Wednesday at a McCain event for the victory committee. Stay tuned for more photos and exciting stories about meeting senator McCain and his local supporters!

We have also been calling Republicans inviting them to attend the Norwood Republican Town Committee fundrasier (wine tasting!) which will be on June 12th at the Fiddlehead Theater in Norwood. It's only $10 - what a deal, support the GOP and drink wine for only $10?!?!

Our office is in Boston near North Station. The Berkshire County GOP also has an office in Pittsfield and we could arrange for western mass internships through that office.

Lunch With Interns - Thank You!

Chairman Peter Torkildsen had lunch this week with some of our fabulous interns. This summer we had a lot of hard working interns here at the Mass GOP and it will be sad to see them go back to school. We can't thank our interns enough for their dedication to Growing Our Party and they will continue their committment with the College Republicans this fall.
